Obesity is a problem rising out of control at an enormous rate. If you are obese, you know all of the problems associated with it from social stigmas, health issues, decreased physical ability, and joint and low back pain.  Considering all of the issues associated with obesity, it is no wonder we try anything we can to lose weight. We submit ourselves to crazy fad diets and dangerous weight loss medications because we are aware of the many health benefits associated with weight loss. There are many side effects though to weight loss medicines including liver disease, high blood pressure and fast heart rate among many others. These medications certainly have their place in the arsenal of weight loss techniques but nothing is more effective and long term than weight loss surgery.

In very recent news, a patient died during an obesity drug trial. This trial was for a cause of obesity known as Prader-Willi syndrome, which is a rare genetic disorder that causes an insatiable appetite leading to obesity among other complications. The drug, Beloranib, is also being tested as a first line therapy medicine for weight loss though. This is just another example of the dangers associated with weight loss medications. This death does not necessarily mean the drug caused the death but that must be in the realm of possibilities. For now, the trial has been placed on a partial hold by the FDA.
